Abstract

The present invention is a liquid ejecting apparatus (1) including; a carriage (12) that reciprocates in a main scanning direction; a liquid ejecting head (4) mounted on the carriage, having a plurality of head-liquid-supplying ports and a plurality of nozzles; and a sub-tank member (3) mounted on the carriage, having a plurality of liquid-storing-room openings (8A-D) that are respectively communicated with the plurality of head-liquid-supplying ports of the liquid ejecting head. The sub-tank member is formed as a single integral member. Each of the plurality of liquid-storing-room openings is closed by an elastic partition having a predetermined area in order to form a liquid-storing room. The plurality of liquid-storing-room openings are respectively communicated with a plurality of liquid-communication ways (29A-D) provided in the sub-tank member. The plurality of liquid-communication ways are respectively communicated with a plurality of sub-tank-liquid-supplying ports (27A-D) provided at an outside of the sub-tank member.
